1. God Rips October 3, 2006

2. Holiness Explored Greek root word “To be holy” means to cut or separate

3. Isaiah 6:3-5 3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty."

4. Isaiah 6:3-5 cont. “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty…” 1. Fully Describes God 2. Repetition expresses His infinite Holiness 3. Holiness reveals our sins: “Woe to me!”

5. Tabernacle 3 areas: Service Area, Holy Place, Holy of Holies Once a year priest wash themselves, perform sacrifices, sprinkle blood to cover sins. God’s Holiness demanded perfection and purity

6. God’s Provisions Gave child to Abraham at 100, Israel out of Egypt, 10 plagues, Passover, Red Sea, Manna/Quail, Mt. Sinai trembled, Moses’ face, 10 commandments Nevertheless they turned to idols

7. Idol Defined Idol: Anything you treasure or trust more than Christ

8. Wrath Explored Ezekiel 6:11-13 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Strike your hands together and stamp your feet and cry out "Alas!" because of all the wicked and detestable practices of the house of Israel, for they will fall by the sword, famine and plague. 12 He that is far away will die of the plague, and he that is near will fall by the sword, and he that survives and is spared will die of famine. So will I spend my wrath upon them. 13 And they will know that I am the LORD, when their people lie slain among their idols around their altars, on every high hill and on all the mountaintops, under every spreading tree and every leafy oak—places where they offered fragrant incense to all their idols.

9. Future Wrath John 3:36 “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him."

10. Christ the Eternal Sacrifice Hebrews 10:19-20 “19Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body,” Luke 23:45 “…curtain of the temple was torn in two.” Able to experience God and His infinite Holiness through His sacrifice by disregarding our idols and be satisfied in Him alone.
